Fantastic Mr. Fox Is An Adorable Bore

How can anyone say anything negative about Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox? The movie has such a powerful shield of 'adorable-ness' speaking critically could be the equivalent to walking inside a lions den with Wes Anderson fans after saying The Life Aquatic sucked. No one would dare comment on the length of this seemingly endless stop-motion epic. The familiar "Anderson plot" is haphazardly translated from the classic Roald Dahl book into a semi-cohesive story. Coming from someone who may not fit into the demographic for Fantastic Mr. Fox, the movie isn't terrible. Fantastic Mr. Fox is good, but the disclaimer that should follow would be, "if you are a Wes Anderson fan." Sorry, Anderson-followers, but if anything good can be said about this long slog of a movie is that it is easily recommendable to you people and children who just don't know any better.
